There's a problem with the current status quo, at least on Android.

Apps can tell that you have disabled notifications, and nag you to re-enable them.

Back when I used cyanogen, I could deny permissions to an app while tricking the app into believing that those permissions were granted. The app would just get an empty contact list, no GPS signal, etc. Even with recent improvements, stock Android still falls short in this regard.

That just seems like the strongest possible encouragement to uninstall the app entirely.

The first time an app does this, that app gets uninstalled. No exceptions.
